Oh *very* nice.
And that'd explain why the few mages pop up are ridiculous in power... (see Hayate and Nanoha and even the Admiral)
As for the TSAB, I get what you're saying -- on the other hand, Nanoha, Fate, and Hayate -- all of them are basically walking armies in one. From the flash forward, I get the impression that they still work mainly in small groups or by themselves as trouble shooters; although they may coordinate with TSAB units, by the time they're called in, there's no need to deal with individual TSAB squads because their power level is too low. (This doesn't quite make sense with what Lindy ordered regarding the capture of Precia Testarossa -- but then again, it was shown quite clearly that the Enforcers couldn't deal with it)
As for shinobi, well, Naruto type shinobi aren't necessarily spies (they just blow lots of stuff up). Those scars on her dad don't just come from spying -- I'd say her family also deals in assassinations...
